Matt Kemp Activated From Disabled List, Slated To Start Tuesday

Dodgers slugger Matt Kemp is off to a pretty regretful year. First there was the lousy start, then there was the hamstring injury he’s been nursing for 3 weeks.

Despite an unmemorable rehab stint at Triple-A Albuquerque in which he had just 2 hits and struck out 6 times in 3 games, Kemp has been cleared off the DL and is scheduled to start for tonight’s game vs the Giants.

He’ll bat 5th and will start at centerfield. Kemp has a lot of ground to makeup due to the injury and has to start producing soon if his Dodgers want any part in competing down the stretch.
